$10.. not really in video. He had a custom PCB made so the pogo pins were on the board, all in one.
Honestly, pretty awesome. Although as noted, this is for older boards without TPM integration in CPU.
It can also be done with a logic analyzer.
The pi is $10. The rest is much more.
That is a PI Nano. They gave them away for free at a trade fair. I've got a bag of them laying around for my next project.
Pi Pico. With a RP2040 MCU. Which retails for [$9.91 on Amazon](Seeed Studio Raspberry Pi Pico Flexible Microcontroller Board Based on The Raspberry Pi RP2040 Dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ Processor for Gamecube, 1pc. https://a.co/d/0A0hAXX).
I’m sure they were giving away at some events because we’re trying to popularize the new chip to get more devs to jump on board. I use a RP2040 on my current project and it’s a great chip.
What does that have to do with the GameCube?
Just your standard Amazon SEO product name.
I’m not quite sure what you’re asking but I believe you are talking about PicoBoot, which is a way to hack your GameCube using a Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040.

Edit: I just realized the Amazon sale says GameCube. Makes sense now.
